It"s going to take the wisdom of Solomon to make a decision and at the moment it looks as though Amaral"sWitnesses have done him a favour. However, it remains to be seen what the McCanns come up with.

For God"s sake, these people only have toappear for 3 days from 10.am til about 5pm with an hour for Lunch, can"t they show respect for the Witnesses.?

We don't know yet what "excuse" Amaral has. It's maybe too soon to judge. And I don't see what is wrong with him closing his eyes in the Courtroom, maybe he was concentrating on something.

He is fighting for Justice for Madeleine, the right to have the injunction lifted, maybe hoping this hearing will go in his favour thereby increasing his chances of success in the Trial. If I was a Witness for him and maybe travelled a long distance I would be miffed if he couldn"t hang around to hear my Testimony. Did he advise the Judge beforehand that he had to leave early or couldn"t he stay another couple of hours ? He managed to speak to the Public outside the Courthouse.

Beattie. the witnesses being heard at the moment are for the publishers of the book. Anything they say will not be affected whether Dr. Amaral is there or not. There could be many reasons why he closed his eyes during the proceedings. If you're the UK press you can put it down to the effects of a boozy lunch. Perhaps he left the building to walk off the effects? I'd like to think that he's planning his next surprise.

Of course Gerry Dear Stu advised your seven friend's that if one of them did not want to do the Official Police Construction then it would not go ahead, any innocent Parent's would have begged their friend's to return for the Official Police Construction after all no stone unturned your quote....covering both your backsides yet again.

unavoidable work commitments my ass - and if so, he would have known about them before.speaking as an employee of the nhs i can confirm that there are more cardiologists than one and no one, repeat, no one surely, would be wanting his services at this time. what a fkn liar.

Didnt he say on Sky this morning that the pt police weren't looking any more, that only him and Kate were?

No Official Police Force are looking for Madeleine, and if they thought that Madeleine was out there alive somewhere they would be searching for her.The McCanns had the chance to have the Case reopened by a certain Date, but obviously declined to do so, yet they harp on that its only them searching for her.
